THANK YOU SO MUCH! So this works for cycling as well. I cycle using a fixed-gear bike. I have some steep hills on the commute to work. They sometimes give me knee pain, sometimes not. I figured it can't be a bad knee situation but maybe a precursor. Nothing seemed to work on form UNTIL I watched this vid. Becuase I am squeezing and pulling with the leg going back to the top of the cycle rotation (much like Jeff is telling us to squeeze and pull on the way down in a squat -- same motion, I am not only really keeping my legs engaged before they start thrashing at the pushing half, but I also more evenly distribute the battle on the inclines between legs. Seriously blew my mind when I tried, and for the past month every commute has made me far more happy with no knee problem and ease of peddling. Also makes for a good tidbit when people are deciding from fixed gear or geared for a commute.

I am a powerlifter who trains heavy squats consistently and weekly. I just started to feel knee pain around the front of my knee cap when I barely even bend my knee (basically at the top of the squat, almost just standing. I have been told this is an overuse injury. I am currently in the midst of recovery which will hopefully get rid of this pain. I have been elevating, icing, resting, stretching, foam rolling, and massaging my knees while also avoiding everyday knee bending and not doing my normal squat routine for at least 1 week. What else should I be doing and also is this and overuse injury? Am I squatting too much?

-Thank you! This sequence was delightful! One suggestion I have is a little more release of the lower back at the end. I have a very tight piriformis so it was quite painful to lie in corpse pose in savasana. To solve this, I did a few supine, slow camel riders ( --tinyurl. com/y2htdsl3-- ) and a supine twist and then I was able to be comfortable in corpse pose. I hope this helps anyone else with this issue! -

Not convinced, specially since you use -knee pain- as a generality, when there are numerous locations where you can feel -knee pain-, for example intra articular vs extra articular pain, the former being more serious, not likely fixed by just form and dependent on the athlete's injury history. Nonetheless i do think a form check can help with patellar tendon pain.

My left knee has always caused pain when doing squats. I've been working out on and off for 18 years and today is the day that I found a fix for it! I've watched other videos and gave up as I none of them helped. Your technique fixed it immediately! It's a whole another world that I just experienced! Thank you so much for this detailed explanation.

Jeff, thanks for posting this! I've always hated legs day because I sucked at it and nothing ever made it feel right. I tried the band thing and finally get what is meant by sitting back as if you're sitting in a chair, the movement felt natural and didn't hurt my knees like squats normally do.

Hey Jeff! I-m a big fan I hve gone down to 11. 7 % bf learning from you. I got injured skiing and have grade 2 MCL injury. I really want to workout but with less stress on my MCL. How can I still do upper body without using strength from legs. Any workarounds? Thanks in advance!

Sir approx 10 months before I guess I did squats in wrong way (going down slowly and coming up very fast with a sudden stop) after which I started experiencing mild knee pain and crackles in knee joint while flexing and extensing during squats. What should I do?
